Would you believe a word that comes out of Putin's mouth?

Have some tea. It's definitely not polonium-flavored.

edit It is fascinating how abrupt and vocal a response I get here if I say something negative about Putin. It's also fascinating how many upvotes those responses get. It makes the provenance of this community's opinions fairly obvious.

contextually, sure

what he says about this has no baring on the outcome - if he said the opposite or was lying, would that change anything? I don't think it would. It seems like a pretty candid observation. Maybe a Trump presidency brings about a negotiated settlement to Russian/Ukranian war -- maybe ol' Donny gets a bug in his pants over something someone says on television and doubles down, hyper commits, no-fly-zone; Cold War 2 becomes World War 3. I'd rather have Biden as an opponent, if I were in Putin's position.

Am I not good enough for snarky replies? was I being too reasonable? Punish me for my sins, punch them holes in my echo-chamber ~~daddy~~
